Brazil is one of the world's most important agricultural markets, with large-scale production of soybeans, corn, sugarcane, coffee, cotton, and other crops. The country's vast farmland, diverse terrain, and increasing demand for precision agriculture have created strong opportunities for agricultural drones, particularly for spraying, spreading, biological control, and crop monitoring.


To meet the demands of massive farms, complex terrain, and strict environmental guidelines, several local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have emerged. These Brazilian companies engineer customized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that offer localized technical support, compliance with national airspace regulations (ANAC, DECEA, and MAPA), and eligibility for national agricultural credit lines like BNDES FINAME.


This article profiles five Brazilian agricultural-drone manufacturers—GTEEX, XFLY Tecnologia, SkyDrones, Bons Voos, and Psyche Aerospace—with a practical focus on company background and selected mainstream models. Specifications below are manufacturer-published or manufacturer-associated figures and should be confirmed with the supplier before procurement, because performance varies with payload, application rate, terrain, temperature, wind, battery condition, and operating configuration.


1. GTEEX


GTEEX is headquartered in Ilheus, Bahia, and was introduced as an agricultural drone brand by Grupo Tecnosul. The company focuses on agricultural spraying and spreading equipment. Its portfolio covers smaller-area spraying through to high-capacity application systems, including the GT-40, KING-100, and KING-150 MAX.


A key commercial advantage is its local support model. Its GT-40 was presented at the Bahia Farm Show in 2023, with the company identifying Ilheus as its production location. This gives GTEEX a background in Brazilian technology manufacturing rather than positioning it solely as a distributor of imported agricultural aircraft. Its published organization includes mechanical design, electronics, embedded software, assembly, and technical support functions.

2. XFLY Tecnologia


XFLY Tecnologia is based in Bauru, Sao Paulo, and has more than a decade of experience in drone technology. A distinctive part of its history is the development of equipment for biological pest control. The company reports introducing a bulk dispenser for Trichogramma eggs in 2015 and a dispenser using biodegradable tubes for releasing Cotesia in 2017.


This specialization makes XFLY different from manufacturers focused primarily on large liquid-spraying tanks. Its agricultural portfolio includes beneficial-insect release systems, aerial imaging platforms, multispectral configurations, and a dedicated spraying drone (X800). The company also provides theoretical and practical training, technical assistance, and replacement parts.

3. SkyDrones


Established in 2008 in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, SkyDrones is a pioneer in Latin American UAV development. SkyDrones played an active role alongside government agencies—including MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture), ANAC (Civil Aviation Agency), and DECEA (Airspace Control)—to establish operational standards for agricultural spraying drones in Brazil. SkyDrones emphasizes strict data sovereignty under Brazil's LGPD law, ensuring flight telemetry and crop map data are processed and hosted locally within Brazil rather than routed through foreign servers.


Crop Spraying Drone


Its company history describes an early focus on aerial image and data collection, followed by fixed-wing mapping aircraft, industrial applications, and agricultural spraying systems. Agriculture is therefore part of a broader aircraft and software development business. SkyDrones also works in areas such as inspection, mapping, and customized drone projects. For agricultural customers, its offering includes local technical support, spare parts, training, and mission-planning software rather than aircraft hardware alone.

4. Bons Voos


Bons Voos states that it has produced drones for surveying and agriculture since 2012. Its official channel describes a progression into agricultural sprayers, proprietary projects, and robotics. The current website emphasizes Brazilian-developed technology, automated GPS-guided flight, Portuguese-language controls, technical support, and training.


Its software support is a notable part of the business. The company maintains Bons Voos MP applications for Windows and Android, with published functionality covering mission planning, simulation, flight information, and support workflows. Bons Voos currently lists the B20 Pro, B50 Pro, and B55 Duo on its website.

5. Psyche Aerospace


Based in the aerospace hub of São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Psyche Aerospace is an innovation-driven start-up incubated at the TechPark São José dos Campos. Focused on autonomous heavy-duty crop protection, Psyche Aerospace combines ultra-large drone platforms with automated ground refueling and re-charging stations. Designed around ESG principles, the company's autonomous fleet aims to optimize chemical usage while significantly increasing operational coverage per hour.


The company's approach extends beyond a standalone spraying drone. Its portfolio combines agricultural aircraft, mapping and monitoring platforms, ground equipment, and intelligent refueling concepts. This places Psyche closer to an integrated agricultural automation developer than a conventional supplier of compact multirotor sprayers.

Conclusion


These manufacturers illustrate Brazil’s push toward domestic agricultural drone capability, ranging from high-volume spraying platforms to specialized biological and mapping tools. Specs can vary by configuration, firmware, battery state, environmental conditions, and regulatory limits; operators should consult current manufacturer data, ANAC rules, and local dealers for the latest certified performance, training, and support. The sector continues to evolve quickly with improvements in capacity, autonomy, and integration with precision agriculture systems.
